actual qoute from bu$h* last press conference

[spanone]

'don't tell me that the federal response to katrina was slow'

[PDJane]

1. OK. I won't.

I will tell you that you were totally inadequate and that the government was to blame for the whole fiasco...and should be paying for it, how's that?

[spanone]

3. unbridled arrogance

[JuniperLea]

2. An idiot to the bitter end...

He really is special.

Oh, and the world view of America is just fine! Just fine.

Regrets? Oh, just that silly old sign about some mission being accomplished.

Other than that, and that damn money thing that just happened to hit during his watch that can't be held against him, it was a really good time!

:banghead:

[spanone]

5. i watched him this morning and i've been pissed off all day

the fact that he was not impeached makes me sick to my stomach

[JuniperLea]

21. I feel the same way...

I keep hoping that it's just a timing thing, that the-powers-that-be in this transition didn't trust him either, and we'll all have a big beautiful surprise just after Obama's inauguration!

I can dream, and I can hope... still... and for now.

[cynatnite]

6. Oh, come on...he never saw any of it coming...

no one never saw any of the stuff that happened during his presidency coming.

[spanone]

9. poor bastard, victim to the end

[JuniperLea]

22. The proper phrase is...

No one could have anticipated.

I use it all the time.

:p

Yeah, we all saw it coming, but apparently there's a reality force field surrounding the White House. That should be Obama's first mission... obliterating that force field.

[cynatnite]

27. LOL...

Thanks for the clarification.

[monmouth]

12. Makes me wonder if he watched Obama while he was in Europe and

the overwhelming welcome and praise he received. Do ya think Georgie might have comprehended they liked this guy running for POTUS better than him? Do you think it even occurred to him? He's dense and in denial to the extreme.

[JuniperLea]

23. Makes me wonder if his Idiot Wranglers...

Spliced his own image into those scenes and show them to Georgie and said, dude! They so love you!

There is an obvious break with reality, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how it all came about. It really is the last straw for him to try and pull us all into his pretend world. It so stupid! Does he really think we are going to swallow all that bullshit? The world still loves us? The economy isn't his fault? History will decide what kind of president he was? What a freak! He cannot leave soon enough!

[madeline_con]

24. He doesn't see it.

It's beyond the mental capacity of the sociopath to see things from others' p.o.v.s He can do no wrong, and if things fuck up, it's someone else's fault.

[JuniperLea]

26. You're no doubt right about that...

I give him too much credit.

[lame54]

4. slow would have been an improvement

[Cabcere]

7. Because he wouldn't listen, even if somebody did tell him.

You know, like when Katrina hit and his staff was afraid to tell him he had to interrupt his vacation? :banghead: Ugh.

[spanone]

8. posted this earlier in the day

[Cabcere]

10. Thanks - didn't see that.

:)

[Raven]

11. Don't land fucking AF-1 you asshole, land food and supplies.

This man just does not get it.

[MichiganVote]

13. He's right. It wasn't slow...it was fucking invisible to everyone but his Highness.

[lpbk2713]

14. Tell THEM Shithead.

... and there were countless others a lot worse off.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

15. Ok, it was beyond slow. It was criminally negligent.

You deserved to be run out of office within a month based on your incompetent performance and handling of federal resources.

[lonestarnot]

16. 'don't tell me that is a tomatoe in your eye.'

[jimshoes]

17. Inept, nearly non-existant, crony heaven,

FEMA clusterfuck, Ice trucks in a different state waiting for instructions, people waiting for days on end at the Superdome, somebody flying above NOLA in AF-1 who had to cut his vacation short, Celebrating some old guys birthday in Arizona, strumming some guitar while people were drowning, and in case nobody else will say it, I will. The federal response to Katrina was S...L...O...W... SLOW, slow.

[Paranoid Pessimist]

18. He doesn't say it wasn't slow; just don't TELL him it wasn't slow.

That's been his pattern for the whole two terms: he doesn't want to hear anything he doesn't want to believe. No evidence that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 and isn't planning a "weapons of mass destruction" attack on the "homeland" -- don't tell him that.

I can easily picture him putting his hands over his ears and going "Blah blah blah blah -- I'm not hearing you."

I'm sure he doesn't hear accounts of his low popularity and poor historical regard.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Up until someone threw shoes at him, he probably thought everyone loved him.

And he even thought the show throwing was a personal problem for the thrower. Didn't know what the guy's beef with him was,even though the shoe thrower told him it was for those killed by bu$h's invasion of his Country. Always in denial, eh georgie?

[onethatcares]

20. I heard there were

52 months of job growth under his administration. But that was just * talkin.

[peekaloo]

25. He had a birthday cake to deliver and guitar lessons to attend!
